About Franchise Central – 30+ Years of Franchise Expertise

Franchise Central is one of Australia’s most experienced and trusted franchise consultancies, helping businesses and individuals navigate the world of franchising since 1991. Over more than three decades, we have helped hundreds of Australian businesses build successful franchise systems, recruited thousands of franchisees, and supported franchise networks across virtually every industry sector.

Based in Toorak, Melbourne, Franchise Central operates nationally with active consultants servicing clients across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, and Perth. We also work with businesses expanding into international markets including New Zealand, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Greece, Italy, France and Turkey. 

What We Do

Franchise Central is a full-service franchise consultancy — meaning we cover every stage of the franchising journey, from initial feasibility through to ongoing network support. Our services include:

  • Franchise consulting and system development — feasibility studies, franchise model design, fee and royalty structuring, territory strategy, and operations manual preparation
  • Franchise legal services — Franchise Disclosure Documents, Franchise Agreements, and Franchising Code of Conduct compliance
  • Franchisee recruitment and sales — candidate sourcing, assessment, and the full recruitment process from enquiry through to grant
  • Retail design and fitout — site selection, leasing assistance, commercial design, and retail fitout project management
  • Franchise finance — connecting franchisors and franchisees with tailored business lending solutions
  • Marketing and advertising — franchise opportunity advertising, brand strategy, and digital presence

Our Philosophy — Bringing the Best Together

Our tagline, ‘Bringing The Best Together’, reflects the way we work. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, Franchise Central brings together the right professionals — consultants, lawyers, designers, finance specialists, builders, equipment suppliers, Human Resources and Franchisee recruitment experts — to deliver complete, tailored franchise solutions for each client.

We believe franchising works best when both franchisors and franchisees succeed together. Our approach is direct, transparent, and grounded in decades of real-world franchising experience. We work with our clients as long-term partners — not just through the initial development phase, but through the growth and evolution of their franchise network.

  • Assisted in the development and expansion of more franchise systems in Australia than any other boutique consultancy

  • Maintained long-term relationships with franchisors and franchisees — many of whom continue to engage us well after their initial franchise launch
